Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call

Started a new file on a whim. Kinda forgot that this was a game with an ending, but thankfully for this topic it was. Still love the game. It passed Kid Icarus: Uprising in hours played at some point, which of course means it's time for me to replay that as well.

moved the FF series to other spots since I have plans for a different franchise there

8. Beat a spin-off or a game that rebooted a franchise

Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster (plus Last Mission)

I possibly figured what was causing the crashes that I talked about awhile back. For some reason, if I did a lot of dress-sphere changes over a period of time the game would eventually crash at the start of a battle. I tested out a stretch of gameplay with no sphere changes mid-battle and didn't have any issues, so I was able to finally finish the game. Not sure if this is something that only happens with the XBox One version or not, but I figured I'd put this out there. Anyway, this was a platinum which is something I normally don't have the time or patience to do, but FFX is one of my favorite games and FFX-2 didn't have any really stupid achievements so I went for it. All in all final total time was around 350 hours (although a chunk of that was idle time, the Nemesis grind, and messing around in creature creator).

17. Beat a first-person shooter

Deathloop

Had a ton of potential, but the story ended up falling kinda flat, and the game got extremely repetitive. I guess the latter is appropriate, given the game's core conceit, but that didn't make the lack of variety any more enjoyable. Still not a bad game, but a huge letdown after Prey.

30. Beat a game with a female lead

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Felt like playing this again. Decided to do a run on hard mode before trying the new characters/modes. The difficulty only really felt like it mattered at the beginning, and at one later boss fight, but it was still a fun replay. Probably going to try Bloodless, next.

49. Choose a random page on TVTropes and beat something from the video game section

Ori And The Will Of The Wisps (Achievement System). This almost feels like cheating getting a trope that applies to every modern game! Great game that was wise to implement backup saves since I had a bug come up often. There were times when the screen wouldn't follow me because the next area was still loading in; if I kept moving off screen, then when the area finished loading I would sometimes end up stuck in a wall. Luckily there's also an in-game warp function to mitigate this as well so in the end it's only a minor inconvenience.

44. Beat a game that's been adapted into another medium

Scarlet Nexus (anime adaptation). Really like the gameplay, but there are some performance issues and I had issues with the game crashing similar to FFX-2. This might not be a problem on new-gen consoles though (played on original XBONE via Game Pass). I plan to watch the anime to see if it's a sufficient replacement for playing the game.
